Large black plumes of smoke billowing up into the sky after a massive explosion rocked the
00:15
Alcoz industrial area.
00:17
Terrified residents were woken up by the blast at around 7 o'clock, which rattled windows
00:22
and blackened the morning sky.
00:25
One shocked witness nearby thought the bomb had exploded.
00:29
Police said at least four warehouses were destroyed in the explosion and resulting fire.
00:34
The blast could be seen as far away as Sharjah and the air was thick with heavy fumes covering
00:39
nearby Satwa.
00:41
Traffic snarled along nearby roads as shocked drivers saw the explosion, an unexpected scene
00:47
on their morning commute.

Rescue teams arrived on the scene and brought the flames under control about two hours later.
